Toolkit "Fast Track to Grants or How to Go from Uncertain to Fundable"
A unique, practical self-paced guide designed to help SMEs, CICs, and sole traders navigate the complex grant landscape effectively. It was drawn from years of real-life experience working with founders who kept hitting the same barriers: chasing grants that were never meant for them, applying too early, or repeating avoidable mistakes. The toolkit introduces a new concept which is not covered by others: being truly “ready to apply” and guides you on how to get there.

  • 1. Grant Search Essentials

    This guide takes you beyond endless  grant lists and helps you understand how grants really work in the UK. You’ll learn what grants can and can’t do, the types of funding available, and the common mistakes that waste time and energy. Inside are practical search strategies, examples, and direct links — so you can quickly see which opportunities might fit your business and which to skip. It’s designed as a reference you can return to whenever you need direction in your grant search.

    2. Grant Readiness Checklist

    A simple first filter to see if you meet the basic requirements most funders expect. This quick checklist covers essentials like structure, finances, and project clarity, so you’ll know right away if you’re ready to move forward — or what gaps to close first. You can clear and reuse the form as often as you like, making it a handy way to track your progress and see how your readiness improves over time.

    3. Are You Fundable? Self-Assessment

    Once you’ve checked the basics, this self-assessment helps you dig deeper into the areas funders actually look at — from the clarity of your idea to your financials, delivery capacity, and wider impact. By scoring yourself across key criteria, you’ll see both strengths and gaps, and then use the built-in template to turn those gaps into a practical action plan. The guide is reusable, so you can repeat the assessment over time and track how your funding readiness develops.

    4. Top 5 Mistakes That Kill Grant Applications

    Even strong businesses lose out on grants — often for the same, avoidable reasons. This presentation takes you behind the scenes of why applications fail and what funders are really looking for. Delivered with audio, slides, and a written script, it explains the five most common pitfalls that derail applications and shows you how to avoid them. A resource you can revisit any time to strengthen your approach before applying.
